about getting married, the pre-wedding, and the post wedding drama, pt. 2

Now i know how it feels. now i know how crazy it could be prepared a wedding. but maybe everyone needs a little drama. yes, yes we are. Me and my mom, considered, calm and relax facing, a little bit of everything, compared to some people. one time, in the period of preparation, i made a little scene of drama by exaggerating and bragging about all the unfinished preparation on The Day-7. because.... i dont have anymore topic to talk about. everything fixed in my head (and my mom's) its only about time to get it done. but all the managerS, i wrote about on the previous entry, keep on bragging things, and sweating all the small stuff. my mom get hit right in the middle, get the panic attack, attacking me back, and there is a huge misunderstanding conflict, caused by my little princess drama.

Another story about The-Day panic attack. I, the bride, never calculate, never expect that, the Bugisnese wedding costume is weighing at least 15kg, with complex make-up, hair-do, top, bottom, and accessories. I think the hair do accessories stuck and inveterate on my head.

And if you have a workaholic girl/boyfriend, and getting married in near time, remind her/him from now on , DO NOT PUSHED HER/HIS OFFICE EMAIL ON THE WEDDING LEAVE, for God's sake!

And when your friends stays after the wedding, and if you take them to a stranded beautiful island near your city, please plan and organized it well, otherwise you will unexpectedly enchanted by the beauty of the colors, swimming like a monkey without putting any sunblock on your skins, and as a newly wedded couple, you will find it so hard in the night to even snuggle in bed because your skin hurts :S hahahah.

You will find it so nice, only to stare and watch your husband sleeping, making funny noises, ugly faces, and think its a pure happiness. yes, that's what i called post wedding drama, not yet arrived at the marriage life daily drama :P
Now i know how it feels, that a little emphasis would made your day instantly, as simple as reading all of the greetings on the wall of BINI + YOGI event on facebook.

about getting married, the pre-wedding, and the post wedding drama, pt. 1

Sharing your happiness about the wonderful news, is one of the best moment before getting married. It was a pleasure for me to tell them in person, all the important people in my life, request their blessings, and request the honor of their presence on the happy day.

but its kind of ironic when i really miss to share my happiness to the one whose been questioning and bitching about my happiness. even without action, a shipment of drama- supposed to be all capital, is sent to me. well, its a dust, and i wear glasses fortunately.

When you are getting married, prepare for some unexpected invasion, out of nowhere, that will turns your world upside down. it feels like.... fallin in love. your heart will casually skipped a beat, get randomly disordered. Exactly like fallin in love, but particularly by decors, vendors, families, relatives, the wedding managerS (in indonesian wedding, people consider themselves as the managers-plural) and other surprises. But despite it all, what am i without them ? :) Thank you all.

you cant get it all. fabrics for the bridesmaids sent, all over the country (brag), but few of them couldn't make it due to some unexpected affairs. my childhood girlfriend, suddenly can't make it for a compulsory training, and she cant change the batch. our matchmaker, the one whose been introduce us to each other, didn't get her permission on leave, and the first flight on monday is not too early enough for her to get to office straight from Makassar. A girlfriend from high school cant make it for an known reason. A well-planned trip of my girlfriend and her husband failed of some reason nobody cant explain. force major. its God's will. my boss, my mentor, my inspiration, have to let his paid flight & hotel, expire. and last, my tante M & oom K, also cant make it. so yes, you cant have it all. But the rest give their best, their time, their energy to attend the event. THANK YOU. once, i am so pissed, and sad, because one of the girl choose to be at a concert/music festival in singapore, rather than to be at my wedding. yes, i am that demanding. i am that demanding for all the time and past we shared, i really wanted her to be here, at my wedding day!!!! i hate the idea of her not having anymore choices, because all the plan, the flight, the festival ticket have been purchased way long a go before i told her i am getting married. and then, God changed her mind, and i'm happy i can have her standing next to me with the rest of my best girls in my life on my wedding day :). One, catch a 2am flight back to the city she now works at, after the reception night. and some catch the earliest flight back to where they lived, and straight to work from the airport.

Thank you for your willingness wearing the same bridesmaids color, even though, you came from different affiliations, a total strangers and not knowing each other before. So happy to have my best girls together on that day :___). Thank you for being totally awesome in my life.

(this is more like a best friend dedication more than a wedding stories, hahah, well, my husband is so awesome you guys didn't have to know, and i don't want to blew his head away)

an hour before my 1st procession, i tweeted;
